Our MindLab

We have established a state of the art mind laboratory (MindLab) at the University of Sydney, with magnetic pulse stimulation (TMS) and brainwave sensing (EEG) apparatus.

This has enabled our revolutionary findings about the mind's hidden skills, described in Nature as "startling" and in a recent New Scientist cover story as "brave and original", and has inspired new exploration into human creative potential. This may ultimately open the door to technological applications for amplifying creativity.

Equipment

Our Mindlab is presently fitted out with a 32-channel Neuroscan SynAmps Amplifier for recording high-resolution EEG. Scan software is used to record, analyse and predict these signals in real-time for the development of sophisticated neurofeedback control.

The transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is done using two single-pulse MagStim 200 magnetic stimulators fed through a BiStin module, which enables alternative firing of pulses from the two machines.
